ST. PETERSBURG, June 5. /TASS/. Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev told reporters that the situation at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) and its satellite city of Energodar is not getting any better.
"Targeted strikes are being launched against the power plant’s infrastructure, the city of Energodar, and its workers. Overall, the situation is not getting any better," the state atomic energy corporation’s chief said on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). Likhachev told reporters earlier that three ZNPP civilian engineers were injured, two of whom are in serious condition.
Likhachev added that Rosatom is receiving new information about attacks every day, including a targeted strike on the turbine hall and a wave attack at the Zaporozhye Thermal Power Plant.
